Class Experience

In "Decode the Secret Signals," children will learn how to read and understand body language cues to enhance their social awareness and communication skills. We will touch on the following topics during our hour together:
1. Introduction to body language
2. Facial expressions and their meanings
3. Gestures and their interpretations
4. Posture and body movement
5. Eye contact and its significance
6. Cultural differences in body language

The class is structured through an interactive discussion, slides, and videos. Learners will also participate in a Kahoot. My teaching style is energetic, participatory, and inclusive. I aim to create a supportive and encouraging environment where children feel comfortable expressing themselves and sharing their ideas. Lessons are designed to be interactive, stimulating curiosity and fostering a love for learning.

By engaging in collaborative learning experiences, children will not only learn from the instructor but also from each other, building social skills and confidence in interpreting body language cues through role playing, conversation and kahoots.

Learning Goals

1. Students will learn to identify and interpret common facial expressions accurately.

2. Participants will understand the significance of body posture and movement in communication.

3. Learners will grasp the importance of eye contact and its role in conveying emotions and intentions.

4. Children will recognize cultural differences in body language and develop cultural sensitivity.

5. By the end of the class, students will apply their knowledge of body language to enhance their communication skills in various social contexts.
